  • The concept of credit default swaps can be pretty complicated, so we use a toy barn, a doll, a couple dishes and some poker chips to demonstrate.

    Hands down. By far, the most simple and to the point explanation of CDS

    Just watched The Big Short and a lot of it went over my head so now I'm trying to watch all these explanation videos.

    A significant component in teaching is transferring information in a clear and concise manner, this small lecture exemplifies the principle.
    firstclass.

    @cato451 Před 6 měsíci +8

    Very good explanation and very accurate with one additional bit of information: The insurance companies who sold the credit default swaps also had insurance on those credit default swaps and that’s why it spread like wildfire.

    While I understood the mechanics of how Swaps such as CDS's work prior to this video; your method of getting it across is definitely the best that I've seen.

  • @baileyreport.
    @baileyreport. Před 10 měsíci +1

    Wonderful, wonderful explanation. I was a real estate for eight years, and I can tell this is exactly how it all works for the benefit of the banks. I've never met anyone who owned their home. When they needed to sell it, they were always upside down on their equity and usually took a loss or just walked away from it, leaving their furniture behind. The bank would foreclose on it and wait for someone else it up.

  • @MJ-YT-USR
    @MJ-YT-USR Před rokem +2

    Very simplified, but a nice starting point to understand a bit more I guess. The kicker is the fact organisations who weren't involved in constructing or selling houses, issuing mortgages or selling insurance products put huge amounts of money in the game too - a game which ended in tears of course. A few who could see the risk and problem made a lot of money though, by effectively bettering (or hedging) the game would end in tears.
